Description:
Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer
Location: Haverhill, Suffolk
Salary: Circa £55,000
Shift: Flexible / shift pattern (Days and some nights not many)
Industry: Food Manufacturing
We're looking for a Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer to join a busy food manufacturing site in Haverhill.
This is a genuinely hands-on engineering role where you'll be responsible for keeping a high-output production operation running smoothly. We're looking for someone comfortable working across both electrical and mechanical maintenance, with the ability to diagnose and resolve faults quickly.
The site operates a single, high-volume production line producing around 100,000 products per day, so reliability and uptime are critical.
The Role
You'll be responsible for:
Reactive and planned maintenance across the production facility
Electrical and mechanical fault-finding
Diagnosing and repairing breakdowns
Maintaining production machinery and packaging equipment
Working across areas including boilers, electrical systems, mechanical equipment and utilities
Carrying out preventative maintenance to reduce repeat failures
Working closely with production to minimise downtime
Identifying opportunities to improve machine reliability and performance
MULTIVAC experience would be highly advantageous.
About You
We're looking for a genuinely multi-skilled engineer with a strong practical approach.
You'll ideally have:
Strong electrical and mechanical maintenance experience
Experience within manufacturing, food production, packaging or a similar high-volume environment
Good fault-finding and diagnostic skills
Experience working on production machinery
The ability to work across both production equipment and site services
A proactive approach to preventative maintenance and continuous improvement
Relevant engineering qualifications such as NVQ Level 3, City & Guilds or equivalent
You don't necessarily need to be an expert in every discipline. We're more interested in someone who can fault-find, think for themselves and get things running again.
What's on Offer
Circa £55,000 salary
Flexible shift arrangements
Permanent position with an established food manufacturer
Varied, hands-on engineering environment
Opportunity to work on high-volume automated production equipment
Genuine responsibility and autonomy within the engineering team
The Opportunity
This is a great opportunity for a local Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer looking to join an established operation in the Haverhill area.
If you enjoy fault-finding, fixing problems and keeping production moving, this could be an excellent fit
